Re: [datameet] any help with geocoding and reverse geocoding without api or from open source

[Sajjad Anwar]

Highly recommend https://opencagedata.com/. Based on OSM and several open
datasets. Really good API and documentation. Also free for a pretty good
number of requests.

[datameet] Update about platform - Covid-19 relief work in Pune-PCMC

[Ravikant P]

Dear Team,

Hope you are doing well. Please do take good care of yourself.

Just wanted to share an update with you. We group of friends are working on
a initiative related Covid-19 relief work in Pune and PCMC, Maharashtra. I
wanted to share details with you and request for your feedback.


*reliefpune*
https://reliefpune.in

*Objective - *It is an online platform created to CONNECT with each other
individuals/groups/orgs doing on-field relief work in Pune and PCMC,
Maharashtra. It contains searchable list of relief works(with contact
details) going on in various areas.


*Users -*
1. On field individuals/groups/orgs can find and call other groups working
in same area, collaborate, and increase impact of their work. They can
exchange, fetch resources from fellow orgs.
2. Individual locked down citizens can know about groups working in their
area and help them from home.
3. Person in need can directly call groups working in their area and appeal
for help.

*Status - *There are 200+ such individuals/groups mentioned in this
platform. We talked with pcmc commissoner and his team graciously helped us
by providing offlcial lists. Many more people are helping in their
capacity. Platform is in both languages - english and marathi.

*Usefulness - *We do want to track usefulness of such platform. Based on
which we can make many further decisions such as:
1. Whether to use such platform in future crisis situation
2. Whether to put more efforts into developing this platform further
3. Whether to replicate such platform in other big cities in india. etc.

*Note - *Its a completely voluntary platform. Totally free to use.  We are
not an NGO. We do not collect any donations. Individuals call relief
working groups directly. We just act as a channel to connect them with each
other. We are team of 8 people. I handle all the technology efforts.
---

I just wanted to share this with you. If you get time, please go through it
and provide your feedback. If you think this can be useful, please share it
in your network as well.


Thank you for your time. Take care.

Niice day!

Best, Ravikant.

Re: [datameet] Re: BhuNaksha: source of cadastral maps

[Dilawar Singh]

Hello Sharad

Here you go: https://gitlab.com/dilawar/bhunaksha/-/tree/master 

[image: canvas.png]

[image: canvas.png]
Currently only district images of MP are downloaded and added to repository 
above. You can browse them (link above) or download as a zip file from 
here: 
https://gitlab.com/dilawar/bhunaksha/-/archive/v2020.04.26/bhunaksha-v2020.04.26.zip
 
.

Couple of samples are attached with this email. I am not sure what exactly 
is needed. If you can send couple of screenshots of what exactly is needed, 
I can tweak this script a bit over next weekend.

Note that canvas size is small since I was using a laptop. 

PS: The script is released under GNU GPLv3.  

best,
   Dilawar

Dear Dilawar:

Many thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately, I am a complete ignoramus 
when it comes to Python, selenium or even accessing stuff from GitHub :-[


Is there any way that you (or anyone else) can help? (Sorry, probably 
asking too much here!)


The site is http://bhunaksha.cg.nic.in/

(It appears to have gone down today, should be up tomorrow or so).

Can someone write code to download and tag a bunch of maps

Dear All,
I have discovered a source of cadastral maps for several
states. This is mostly under the BhuNaksha initiative of NIC.
They seem to have created separate websites for each state.
Don't know for how many. I have found:

Maharashtra:
https://mahabhunakasha.mahabhumi.gov.in/bhunaksha/27/index.jsp

Madhya Pradesh: http://www.mpbhuabhilekh.nic.in/

Chhattisgarh: https://bhunaksha.cg.nic.in/#home-pane
 (DOES NOT WORK RIGHT NOW)
Odisha: http://bhunakshaodisha.nic.in/bhunaksha/


The BhuNaksha websites have a common format: you can choose
district, taluka and village, and then the village cadastral
map shows up (its in png format). You can click on a
plot/parcel, and it will show the details of that plot: area,
owner name, etc. You can generate  pdf report for that parcel.

Maharashtra version had added ability to show you the
cadastral map in geo-rectified mode on top of a
google-earth-like satellite image--quite useful.

CATCH: a) the names of district, taluka, village etc are IN
THE STATE SCRIPT: so devanagari for MP & Maha & CG, but Odiya
for Odisha. So if you don't read that script--you are sunk
b) in most states (except Maharashtra!), it is not enough to
know the district, taluka and village name. Within a taluka,
you have know Revenue Inspector and then something called
'halka', and then choose from the villages within that halka.
If you don't know this (RI and halka), you have to do brute
force: search in each halka in each RI! (typical sarkari
rubbish: not wanting common people to actually use the website!).

Karnataka seems to have its own initiative:
https://www.landrecords.karnataka.gov.in/service3/

Here, you can actually download pdfs of each cadastral map,
and in some cases, even the KML! And searching for the village
is district, taluka and then village.

Hope this helps.

I am sure there are more such websites for other states.
Please look up and share.

Hi, 

Are you looking for all the layers or a particular layer? Moreover, when I 
click around on the map I don't actually see any data there?
